SAI 2 updated after almost 2 years of near radio silence with a new dark mode and some cool stuff like halftones and a lasso fill. It's pretty sick
>>8003188What does this even mean? It's just a toggle so like for example it uses the same brush etc. taht you used to draw?
>>8003211>CSP is also on mac and android. I understand what you're trying to say but lowering a score because a company isn't developing for a disparate group of OSs that just barely cracked 5 percent market share is just petty, and I completely switched to baremetal linux.Well you know that's your opinion and mine is that windows is becoming so terrible it actively brings down everything that's tied up to it. If you're a developer and value your software you shouldn't make it a windows exclusive. Mac and android aren't real alternatives. I know what you mean about the 5% market share though. You don't earn much revenue from linux and since it's an open platform it's hard to support.>The complaints about defaults are also bizarre. When you move into a new home, are you made that the furniture isn't where you would put it, or do you just move the furniture yourself? It takes two seconds to change a shortcut. Be grateful you're not left-handed, you'd be very disappointed all the time.That's a good point, and defaults wouldn't be such a big deal if every program had good customization but most of the time they don't. They usually lack something important. The user interface in aseprite is so good it's hard to settle for anything else after. For example I also found out krita doesn't allow assigning the same keybind to multiple tools. It's really handy when you want to cycle though variants of a similar tool without having to remember a billion keybinds.>>8003235Yeah it's really annoying, I wouldn't be able to get used to it because it's too different from other programs. It's not a huge deal but it's like a pebble that you can't remove from your shoe.
>>8003240Lots of artists use Macs. It's still UNIX at its core. If we want more people to make the switch, we can at least point them towards a recognizable safe direction instead of trying to throw them feet first into the Arctic with the rest of the penguins.
>>8003137it's nice when reviewers say so much retarded stuff because then you can just disregard all of their opinions.
>>8003240>Yeah it's really annoying, I wouldn't be able to get used to it because it's too different from other programs. It's not a huge deal but it's like a pebble that you can't remove from your shoe.Literally you have to change the eraser to another brush if you want to I don't know do normal pencil line work and then erase it with a big eraser? Wtf?
How do I have fun with drawing? I want to draw, talk about my and other's drawings, and improve along the way, but drawing all alone then posting it to some void online just... screams at me its absurd. There's some schizos that can sit in their man caves and draw whatever the fuck they do, quality be damned, but I'm not one of them. And in the last few years when I draw I get mild satisfaction or frustration and don't touch the pencil for days to months after that. Very few people seem to appreciate tools or techniques (pic unrelated on this one), despite screeching about ai or some other boogeyman.I dunno, it all seems pointless without some community that's actually interested in drawing.Also, opinions of non-draws drive me up the wall. They can praise or criticize the most unexpected things in my art, and I get mind fucked trying to understand what they're even seeing. The random praise is the weirdest, I get a compliment on something I consider mediocre to meaningless and I'm left wondering what is going on their head.
>>8002895Community is a huge part of it, yeah. You need to feel like you're a part of something and that other people know what you're going through; that's what gives me the motivation to keep going, anyway. That's part of why I value /ic/ so much.>>8003009Anon it was basically impossible to become an artist back in the Renaissance if you weren't embedded in a real physical community of other artists. You had to physically go talk to them so you could learn from them. Paradoxically, the internet has enabled people to be fully isolated from each other because it's easier to get whatever resources you need for free online.
>>8003030Yeah, there's a life drawing session near me that's mostly boomer amateurs who just have a habit of going out and socializing as part of their hobbies. They may be lead -brained but we can still learn some things from them
>>8002913I can't talk and draw either
>>8002966>Problem is it seems most are very resistant to community. Most everyone here is a misanthrope or beyond shy so nobody really makes any effort to link up.Where do you think you are?
>>8003870>Where do you think you are?I know where I am, here just kinda blows sometimes
Taking a break? Drink some water, do some stretches, share some thoughts.Just keep them art related.Previous: >>7977583
Any anons here also paint minis? My airbrush spray booth is now in my PC room. Even though I have a ventilation booth, I'm wondering if I should cover my screen tablet with a towel or something just in case to avoid any fine mist getting on it

>>8002730I feel sick. The bad thoughts won't go away. I will never have what I want because I'm fundamentally flawed. I want to puke
struggling after almost a month of only getting crabbed or getting no (You)s. when i get crit it's always the same guy telling my the same things repeatedly whoch stresses me out because i can't fix the things he wants to me to fix. maybe i should just learn and practice for an entire year before trying to seek feedback again. i don't feel like posting every day when i improve like maybe 0.1% per drawing is helpful nor does anyone enjoy seeing my art.
A drawing I made of my character and wonderfulbabyfairygirl :3
Nice design nona

Wait a minute, you guys are pedos?

>>8005193I just like small chests and funny posts.
Glenn Vilppu says that when he's drawing, and describing forms, it's almost as if he's caressing the model itself with his pencil.So much so that when he sometimes draws from a live model, they would start complaining about being itchy on the particular body part the Glenn draws.and then he adds: "Particularly the feet."Goon Vilppu confirmed?
>>8003462Holy NEWFAG

>spend 10 years on this>isn't even sellable or maybe for like 250 bucks (I would starve at that prices) Trying to become a pro artist is taugh brehs (just wanted to complain) still a bit to go
>>8003576>Are food prices that bad in america now
Skill issue. You’re trying to run before you can walk. Draw more.
>>800357410 years? Did you do one stroke a week?
>>8003574stop attention snoring with your shitty fucking paintings and learn to paint you faggot
>>8003580>>8003748see>>8003750im trying but i have crashouts
How do I improve the dimensions and perspective of my drawings?I'm thinking on starting to draw again but I want to boost the beauty of the figures I do
>>8002527Drawing from life becomes boring once you already know how to draw from imagination.
>>8002529Even so, drawing from life needs to be something you revisit so you don't get rusty.It really does bug me how many artists are just constantly giving bad advice.
>>8001805>Anon makes comment>In his comment, he invents a boogeymanThis needs to be studied by scientists
>>8002575It was an accurate "boogeyman" judging by the replies

Random drawing of my boy Denis. He’s a Russian immigrant living in the 1990s United States & is born in 1972
Idk. Cus I can’t find any thread relating to ocs I think. Idk cus I’m on crack
>>7995148 I think this might fit better on /i/
>>7992972imagine if you replaced the d with a p
>>7999162lol i think i get that one.
The picrel made me mentally pronounce Denis like penis
Posting my work on twitter/pixiv/etc or not makes no difference because there is no reaction, ever. So I feed my work to grok just so I can have a reaction. Anyone else do this?Hitler painting bc was more a more successful artist than me.
Hitler should have painted lolis and animals too. Just architecture is too boring.

>>8002809Sounds like a homosexual disease
>>8002286The whole story started as a random drawing of a demon head in a new sketchbook, stuck in waiting rooms with too much free time. And when I realized that this was my new "normal ", I started putting work into the strips around the 30th.
just ignorr

>>8005196You just answered your own question. Keep doing what you're doing.
>>8005200From pics but I want to upgrade to real life asap. Is it wrong to not be completely faithful to what im copying? Sometimes there's elements that won't look clear what they're supposed to be (aka i can't render it) or just outright look like it would look bad. So I only use the reference for the first ten mins before ditching it.I have enough space to carry around one book so maybe I'll buy it.>>8005202Fair enough. It's just every single YouTube video and course seems to emphasise drawing cubes and tubes, etc. Feels like learning grammar and praying you'll learn a language that way.
>>8005210>Feels like learning grammar and praying you'll learn a language that way.I've briefly studied this style of language teaching but never made that connection when it came to art.
>>8005024>>8005158Take the anime pill, trust me.Start thinking about leaving details out of your drawings, like you don't need to draw every strand of the eyelashes and hair.Her noses are too pudgy, I'd use shadow to imply most of the nose, make the nostrils really small, large nostrils are always ugly looking.

How do I draw hands
>>8003079I would say hold a controller and see where your fingers naturally rest. my intuition says pointers on the shoulder buttons not this crab claw stuff for once
>>8003079Few things I notice immediately:>hands are too small>fingers on the right hand (our left) are spread apart even though it unnatural>thumb starts at the same position as the other fingers (it should be pushed back)>the fingers aren't holding the controller as much they're squeezing it: they should be more relaxed and less stretched out (this is especially noticeable on the index finger)
>>8003079you don't know how to construct forms properly so drawing a hand for you is going to be hard also you have perspective done incorrectly, learn about those two and it will get bit more easier... then open actual anatomy book and study hands. Reference will not help you in this case because you don't understand how forms work in 3d space.
>>8003079Use ball joints
>>8003564ftfy
"I have drawn for years and never improved", has to be the biggest lie thrown around here, no?I would understand the frustration of someone who is a super hard worker, pouring hours for 2 to 5 years drawing almost every day, studying, applying themselves, but making no progress.However, the average complainer never has the material to back it up. The hundreds and thousands of sketchbook pages/papers/digital drawings show how much they actually drew all those years.Why is that? They might have been 5 years into trying to start the journey but never actually committed enough.
>>7999184>how many times do you think kids read match chapters lol?well they actually have to revisit the formulas and rules every time they have to do the exercises that use those concepts at least until they develop a solid understanding of it, math is practical, its not something you just "read about" so anon kinda picked a dogshit example too
>>7998999it's not a lie honestly as someone who only really started improving this year, after a lifetime of on and off attempts to draw, it really does seem to come down to how you study and how much you study. drawing every single day and attempting to actually learn something >>> doodling the same few poses for 15-30 minutes every few weeks. that said the toughest parts of art are knowing what to study and focus on, for me. if you don't know how to study years will slip by
>>7999175sounds like they're not asking that often either? seems low effort to throw a bit of advice to a friend once a weekif they're repeatedly asking about the same drawing, they're probably useless to talk to about anything else too so get better friends
>>7999616dropped anime, does plein-air paintings in oil and exhibits in galleries
>>7998999>The hundreds and thousands of sketchbook pages/papers/digital drawings show how much they actually drew all those years.Every few months I'm possessed by abject sorrow over my failed existence. Everytime this happens, I destroy all my work because I can no longer tolerate looking at the evidence of my failure.That's usually why in my case at least.
